To See the Whole Video, Go To - Pushing Past
Below is a transcription of this video
I want to talk about just pushing past where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stopped before.
I was working on a new strategy yesterday for writing videos and I got to a place
where I just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feeling like I was making enough progress and running out of
time.
In the past what I would have done is I would have stopped and moved onto
something else and realized, hey, this is not the thing that I should be doing right
now and I did something else that allowed me to get immediate satisfaction.
I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing that stops the success, where we need to get that
immediate satisfaction, we need to get that immediate high.

When I realized at the end of the working session because I was running out of
time, I might not get exactly where I want to get to, I might not produce the exact
results I actually want to produce, but everything I do in moving in the right
direction is progress.
If I take that progress and I’m further along now than I was when I started the
project and pick it up again, and I make progress again and keep on moving the
ball forward, then eventually I’m going to get to a place where I get to the “goal
posts.”
What I learned from this session is we don’t know what we don’t know.
We’re moving forward in a direction and if we have expectations on how far
we’re going to get in each session or each day or each week, and will consider
failure if we don’t meet those expectations, we’re pretty much setting ourselves
up for definite failure.
If the goal is progress and just moving forward and knowing that we’re going to
pick it again because that’s the key; when we make some progress we move
forward, we know we’re going to pick it up again, that’s when magic can start
happening over a period of time.
I’ll sit down again today with that same program and see how it goes.
Thanks a lot for listening. Make today a great day.
